Subject to the User giving a specific and optional consent to its data processing, any contact data (name, surname, electronic mail address, phone number) will be used by us (and/or the parent restaurant organization and their franchisees) for the sole purpose of ascertaining the identity of the relevant User (also by means of validation of the electronic e-mail address), avoiding frauds or infringements, and contact the User only for services reasons;

Further purposes of processing: marketing (sending advertising material, direct sales and commercial communication)
With the free and optional User’s consent, some User’s personal data (name, surname, electronic mail address, phone number) may be processed by the parent restaurant organization and their franchisees also for marketing purposes (direct sale, dispatch of marketing material and commercial communication) or in order for the parent restaurant organization and their Franchisee to contact the relevant User by means of electronic mail for proposing to the same to purchase products and/or services offered by Franchisee and/or third parties companies, present offers, promotions and commercial opportunities.

The relevant User may also easily oppose to the sending of further marketing communications (by e-mail) also clicking on the specific revocation link for revoking the consent, which is included in each marketing e-mail. Once revoked the consent the parent restaurant organization and their Franchisee will send to the User an electronic mail message in order to confirm that the consent has been actually revoked.
